The Ascent of Crimson Heat

I stand here while the city tries to pull me down with its concrete breath and neon noise, but I am becoming lighter than the air. My skin is a map of warmth that refuses to settle; it drifts upward like incense in an empty cathedral.
You are across the street—a silhouette carved from shadow and longing. As our eyes lock through the damp midnight mist, my heart detaches itself from my ribs, floating toward you on invisible threads of red silk. This crimson fabric I wear is not clothing but a tether to a dream that has finally broken free.
The air between us begins to hum with an electric weightlessness; every breath is a slow-motion climb into the atmosphere where gravity no longer holds dominion over touch. Your gaze reaches out and lifts me, pulling my soul from its urban anchor until we are both drifting above the asphalt river.
I want you to press your hand against mine not as two bodies meeting on Earth, but as stars colliding in a vacuum—where desire is an ascending current that carries us higher than any skyscraper could ever reach.
